It flows into the river Danube near the city of Szekszárd. Sió flows through the Hungarian counties Somogy, Fejér, and Tolna, its main tributaries are Kapos from the right and Sárvíz from the left. The drainage basin of Sió (including Balaton) covers nearly 15 000 km², more than a third of Transdanubia.
